Disappointing for MSport, and perhaps a headache for Toyota next year? Certainly they have a strong line up but IMO the No1+No2 is a better way for teams than 2xNo1 drivers and I can't think Ott has moved to be Latvalas no2, and Lappi will be even stronger next year

Very disappointed. Could be in the situation where M-Sport win Manufacturers and Drivers titles and lose there top 2 wheelmen. Not good and rough on Malcolm and team.

I think unless Ford stump up some cash M Sport might well loose both drivers for 2018.

With a few champion drivers possibly heading for Citroen there might be a few spare Citroen drivers around???
